Re: Burning treated pine fences

What the heck are we doing using this stuff anyway? 4 million people in Sydney Australia = roughly 1 million households of 4 people...
say 50% of that is suburban homes with the cheap treated pine fences....
= 500 thousand fences of treated pine being dumped every 30 years.

That's about 16 to 17 thousand treated pine fences each and every year... very roughly speaking. (Treated pine seems to be THE cheap way to build a fence in Sydney Australia).

What on earth?
Can't we 'slow down' and only use more natural building materials, like waiting for hard-woods to actually grow to maturity? What's wrong with modern business?
